Hi guys
I've been setting up my IBM Aptiva with some of my favourites, but no matter what I try I cannot get C&C Gold (Windows 95 edition) to run. When I start it, I get an hourglass mouse icon, the CD drive starts to whirr, the mouse icon disappears to a black screen and then that's it. The system appears to hard crash, I cannot alt tab / ctrl alt del / alt f4 etc., I have to turn the power off and back on again.
The odd thing is, I also have Red Alert 95 edition installed and it works great. I have tried using my original CDs from back in the day, as well as the ISOs released as freeware a few years ago just to make sure it's not my CD at fault.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, I've basically hit a stone wall.. Any googling results only in information on the newer releases & Windows 7 etc., I can't find any troubleshooting info for the original version
My system is;
Pentium 120
S3 Virge DX 4MB
Windows 95c
48mb RAM
Many thanks!
